Yep. I had a chance to talk to an American several years ago who was living in Switzerland when I first learned about this situation. He had a house there before the US had fully forced the Swiss banks to give up their banking records. He h

Sounds like perhaps like most of your experiences were with pre-AIX version 4? No system is perfect for sure. By the time I started using AIX it was with version 4 and was moving to 5 and I can't say any of the problems you've des

Heh, yea I was sorely disappointed when I switched from primarily admining AIX to Linux for work. While I had played with Linux long before I got started with AIX, I had only ever used it on desktop workstations and such. Lots of things lik

Tape your notes to the lid of the laptop and it's out of sight from even the most complete "scan" of a room. If people can cheat during an in person exam it's not possible to enforce cheating restrictions off-site, it&#x

Why you are not afraid: you make enough money to hire experts to shield you from making any business and tax mistakes. An emerging hobby business makes enough money to warrant hiring some VERY limited services, but not enough money to hire

I added a late response to the last thread on this issue that outlined a detailed process to recovery. No one is going to throw money at a ship that's actively sinking. They need to have a plan that communicates how they will turn the

Fundraising is all about personal connections and networking. Makerspaces usually consist of a majority of introverts to varying degrees. Simply posting to mailing lists and chat channels that you need to raise money is not enough, you have

Sorry to hear that. The distributed nature of small community groups and a lack of central management can lead to situations like this. As a member, when you stop in to spend an hour working on a project in your space during non-public hour

I'd largely agree with your sentiments. FWIW though, I think it's unfair to compare community-organized makerspaces to TechShop. While they have similar look and feel, no community-run makerspaces open their doors with $1M in equi

As a co-founder of a hackerspace this makes me sad to see. I wholeheartedly agree that these spaces provide a value to their communities disproportionate to their cost to operate. However usually these situations come from a lack of time fo

Heh, before the internet rumor mill existed, I had friends who worked at fast food joints with ball pits. They ALWAYS complained about kids pissing in the ball pits. That scared me off from ever messing with them as a young adult (and they

Certainly, but imagine the reams of red tape you'll be making your agent team wade through. The FBI has a lot of resources but I suspect they are not setup to counterfeit US currency. Sooo many meetings and approvals, Judicial oversigh

Ha, nice. I was a silent participant of that contest that year. My buddies team was able to acquire a second tamper kit to practice on, I learned a lot about seals that weekend and I still apply that knowledge to this day. Any seal that use

At first blush this looks like the government smiting a flea with a sledge hammer. But it sounds more like there's more to this story. The forest service took the time to track him down on their own which says a lot right there - they

A lot of name brand electronic locks can be bypassed with a tool like the Spike Master that lets you manually drive the solenoid, so even from brands that should know better there are issues. Sadly this is an issue of market demand rather t

One fun thing I enjoyed about IBM Global Services were some of the in-house developed tools we had access to. One tool they had which became invaluable was the screw starter for flat-head screws. This was nothing like other screw starters c

With how much the military has been practicing for situations where GNSS will be jammed in the past few years it seems... overly optimistic to coerce the entire industry to ditch the magnetic compass at this point. https://www.th

For a second I was thinking of Aleph One of this site from way back when: https://web.archive.org/web/19980214102549/http://undergroun... Interesting read regardless.

Microwave ovens, the other source of 2.4GHz. There's probably a reason they used 2450MHz as the test frequency, a magnetron from an oven is cheaper and easier to obtain. https://hypertextbook.com/facts/1998/Ho

I did a bunch of work with TTS about 15 years ago for a project and had landed on Festival and the Nitech voices as the best free option at that time. It's interesting that this seems to still be the best free non-cloud option availabl

This train of thought is entirely too charitable. The US has the NSA, CIA, NRO, etc. for a reason and it's not to combat domestic terrorism. We don't have to be sponsoring their work to find out what they were doing. But I can un

Yet another knock-off of Lustre. Lustre is not perfect, and I'm not suggesting it has a place in the mainline kernel, but it sounds like neither does BTRFS. When you get to large scale (multi-petabyte) filesystems there are not many op

The key word here being "should", and they are clearly not filtering at the network level. I can tell, I still get spoofed robocalls... The clipper chip provided end users the ability to cryptographically prove callers were who th

The sad thing is if the clipper chip was ubiquitous today that could have killed the ability for spammers to spoof numbers. Some days I can get a dozen robo calls, each with a different spoofed number. People that want non-backdoored crypto
